Chronic venous ulcers: a review on treatment with fibrin sealant and prognostic...
Abbade,Luciana Patricia Fernandes; Ferreira Jr,Rui Seabra; Santos,Lucilene Delazari dos; Barraviera,BeneditoAbstract Venous ulcers are the main causes of chronic lower-limb ulcers. The healing difficulties encourage the research and development of new products in order to achieve better therapeutic results. Fibrin sealant is one of these alternatives. Besides being a validated scaffold and drug delivery system, it possesses excellent healing properties. This review covered the last 25 years of the literature and show...
Extracellular vesicles in infectious diseases caused by protozoan parasites in ...
Pontes,Leticia Gomes de; Altei,Wanessa Fernanda; Galan,Asier; Bilić,Petra; Guillemin,Nicolas; Kuleš,Josipa; Horvatić,AnitaAbstract Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-bound vesicles of growing interest in vetetinary parasitology. The aim of the present report was to provide the first isolation, quantification and protein characterization of EVs from buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) sera infected with Theileria spp. Methods: Infected animals were identified through optical microscopy and PCR. EVs were isolated from...
Traceability of animal protein byproducts in ruminants by multivariate analysis...
Ferreira Jr.,Rui Seabra; Silva,Daniela Alessandra Fossato da; Biscola,Natália Perussi; Sartori,Maria Márcia Pereira; Denadai,Juliana CéliaAbstract Background: Ruminant feed containing animal byproduct proteins (ABPs) is prohibited in many countries due to its risk of transmitting prion diseases (PD). In most cases the entire herd is sacrificed, which causes great harm to the producer countries by preventing their exportation of ruminant derived-products. Methods: We used stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) of carbon (13C/12C) and nitrog...
Heterologous fibrin sealant derived from snake venom: from bench to bedside – a...
Ferreira Jr,Rui Seabra; Barros,Luciana Curtolo de; Abbade,Luciana Patrícia Fernandes; Barraviera,Silvia Regina Catharino SartoriAbstract Hemostatic and adhesive agents date back to World War II, when homologous fibrin sealant came onto scene. Considering that infectious diseases can be transmitted via human blood, a new heterologous fibrin sealant was standardized in the 1990s. Its components were a serine protease (a thrombin-like enzyme) extracted from the venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus snakes and a fibrinogen-rich cryoprecipit...
A clinical trial protocol to treat massive Africanized honeybee (Apis mellifera...
Barbosa,Alexandre Naime; Boyer,Leslie; Chippaux,Jean-Philippe; Medolago,Natalia Bronzatto; Caramori,Carlos Antonio; Paixão,Ariane GomesAbstract Background Envenomation caused by multiple stings from Africanized honeybees Apis mellifera constitutes a public health problem in the Americas. In 2015, the Brazilian Ministry of Health reported 13,597 accidents (incidence of seven cases per 100,000 inhabitants) with 39 deaths (lethality of 0.25%). The toxins present in the venom, which include melittin and phospholipase A2, cause lesions in diverse o...
Crotalus durissus terrificus crotapotin naturally displays preferred positions ...
Oliveira,Laudicéia Alves de; Ferreira Jr,Rui Seabra; Barraviera,Benedito; Carvalho,Francilene Capel Tavares de; Barros,Luciana Curtolo deAbstract Background Classically, Crotalus durissus terrificus (Cdt) venom can be described, according to chromatographic criteria, as a simple venom, composed of four major toxins, namely: gyroxin, crotamine, crotoxin and convulxin. Crotoxin is a non-covalent heterodimeric neurotoxin constituted of two subunits: an active phospholipase A2 and a chaperone protein, termed crotapotin. This molecule is composed of ...
Melittin induces in vitro death of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum by triggeri...
Pereira,Andreia Vieira; Barros,Gustavo de; Pinto,Erika Gracielle; Tempone,Andre Gustavo; Orsi,Ricardo de Oliveira; Santos,Lucilene Delazari dosAbstract Background Apis mellifera venom, which has already been recommended as an alternative anti-inflammatory treatment, may be also considered an important source of candidate molecules for biotechnological and biomedical uses, such as the treatment of parasitic diseases. Methods Africanized honeybee venom from Apis mellifera was fractionated by RP-C18-HPLC and the obtained melittin was incubated with proma...
